Bearded Theory 2017 takes place in the beautiful surroundings of Catton Hall, Walton on Trent in Sth Derbyshire, a 250 acre private estate situated within the National Forest boundary

2017 marks the festivals 10th anniversary celebrations, from very humble beginings in the beer garden of a pub the festival has grown in stature to now accommodate up to 15000 revellers, and to to have picked up multiple awards (AIM Music Awards Winner  Best UK Independent Festival, UK Festival Awards Winner  Best Small Festival, Best Promoter, Best Family Festival) all whilst remaining 100% independent – the festival is still organised by the same core team of volunteers and refuses to take on corporate sponsorship; as such the event sells out in advance every year. With a line-up as listed 2017 is set to be no different;

A limited number of tickets are available from the Festival Shop or, you could enter the completion and get yours for free!!
